  • the completion tubular component 2 may be expanding or uncurling if the completion tubular component is made of a sheet, e.g. of spring metal, having overlapping ends forming a completion tubular component.
  • the completion tubular component may be a wound metal sheet of spring steel where the ends are overlapping more in the initial condition than after expansion.
  • the radial expansion tool section 6 comprises a first element 7 moving along the axial extension L and a support structure 8 supporting the completion tubular component 2 and connected with the first element 7 for moving the support structure 8 at least partly radially outwards for expanding at least part of the completion tubular component 2.
  • Lubrication may be applied between the outer face of the support structure 8 and the inner face of the completion tubular component 2 so that the component is free to move during expansion, thus reducing the risk of the component fracturing during the expansion process.
  • the wireline expansion tool 1 is part of a downhole tool string 100 comprising the wireline expansion tool 1 and a driving unit 15, such as a downhole tractor, for propelling itself and the wireline expansion tool 1 forward in the well.

  • the housing 10 is stationary, and the shaft 11 is moving within the housing 10.
  • the shaft 11 is stationary, and the housing 10 is moving in relation to the electric motor 3.

  • the axial force generator 5 comprises a second piston element 29 projecting radially inwards from the housing 10, the second piston element 29 abutting an outer face 26 of the shaft 11.
  • the first piston element 28 and the second piston element 29 comprise a surrounding sealing element 53.
  • the wireline expansion tool 1 further comprises a pump 22 driven by the electric motor 3, and a first chamber 25 is formed between the first piston element 28, the second piston element 29, the shaft 11 and the housing 10.
  • Fluid channels 19 fluidly connect the pump 22 and the first chamber 25 for pumping fluid into and out of the chamber 25 for moving the first element 7.
  • the fluid channel 19 extends mainly in the housing 10, and in Figs. 7a and 7B the fluid channel 19 extends in the shaft 11 and in a tool part 14.

  • the abutting inclined faces force the support structure 8 outwards in a radial direction perpendicular to the axial extension of the tool, and as the support structure 8 is supporting the completion tubular component 2, the completion tubular component 2 is likewise forced radially outwards, either expanding or uncoiling until abutting the inner face of a surrounding casing or borehole wall for setting the completion tubular component 2 in the well.
  • the expanding or uncoiling occurs until the completion tubular component 2 cannot move any further radially outwards.
  • the support structure 8 comprises a plurality of support parts 41, each having two grooves 42 extending along a circumference of the tool and a locking ring 43 or circlip engaging the grooves 42 and pressing the support parts 41 towards a centre axis C of the tool, and in this way the support parts 41 are held together while expanding radially outwards perpendicularly to the centre axis C.
  • the support parts 41 are thus squeezed in between the completion tubular component 2 and the first element 7 and the second element 9.
  • the completion tubular component 2 may be a straddle, a liner, a patch or a liner hanger.
  • the straddle and the patch may be a tubular component made by coiling a plate-shaped metal sheet having overlapping ends and which uncoils during the expansion.
  • the shaft 11 thus extends through the second element 9.
  • the support structure 8 is an elastomeric element being compressed by the first element 7 moving towards the housing 10 so that the elastomeric element bulges radially outwards, as shown in Fig. 3B , in such way that part of the elastomeric element moves radially outwards along with the completion tubular component 2 and thus partly expands.
  • the patch is likewise expanded, such as uncoiled.
  • the support structure 8 also comprises a plurality of support parts 41 having a first end 44 connected to the first element 7 and a second end 45 connected to the housing 10 or to the second element 9.
  • the support parts 41 are distributed around the circumference of the tool so that when the first element 7 moves towards the housing 10, the support parts 41 bend radially outwards, moving the completion tubular component 2 radially outwards as shown in Fig. 4B .
  • the support structure 8 comprises a plurality of support parts 41 having a first end 44 rotatably connected to the first element 7 and a second end 45 rotatably connected with the housing 10.
  • Each support part 41 comprises a first part 46, a second part 47 and an intermediate part 48.
  • the intermediate part 48 is arranged intermediately to the first part 46 and the second part 47, and at each end (49A, 49B) the intermediate part 48 is rotatably connected to the first part 46 and the second part 47, respectively, from the initial and unexpanded position shown in Fig. 5B to the expanded position shown in Fig. 5B .
  • the radial expansion tool sections 6 as shown in Figs. 4A, 4B, 5A and 5B are mainly suitable for expansion by uncoiling of the completion tubular component 2, such as a straddle or a patch.
  • the outer face of the completion tubular component 2 may have an adhesive so that the overlapping ends of the completion tubular component 2 may be adhered/glued together after expansion by uncoiling.
  • the support structure 8 may have heating means incorporated so that, after expansion, the support structure 8 can heat the completion tubular component 2 and initiate the adhering of the overlapping ends.
  • the housing 10 is stationary, and the shaft 11 is moving within the housing 10, and fluid channels 19 in the housing wall provide fluid communication between the pump 22 and the first and second chambers 25, 24 in order to move the shaft 11.
  • the second chamber 24 is at its maximum so that the shaft 11 is projected out of the housing 10 to its maximum, and when the first element 7 is to be moved, the pump flow is in the opposite direction of that shown in Fig. 6 so that the pump 22 pumps fluid into the first chamber 25, retracting the shaft 11 into the housing 10 and thus moving the first element 7 towards the housing 10.
  • Fig. 7A shows an axial force generator 5, also called a downhole stroking tool, for providing an axial force P in an axial direction of the wireline expansion tool 1, which is also the axial direction of a well for pulling the first element 7 towards the housing 10.
  • the axial force generator 5 comprises a housing 10, a first chamber 25 inside the axial force generator 5 and a first tool part 14 comprising a pump 22 for providing pressurised fluid to the chambers 25, 24.
  • the wireline expansion tool 1 further comprises an electric motor 3 and an electronic section/control unit 20 for controlling the function of the wireline expansion tool 1.
  • the wireline expansion tool 1 is electrically powered through the wireline 4.
  • the axial force generator 5 comprises a shaft 11 penetrating the chamber 37, the first piston element 28 and the second piston element 29 dividing the chamber 37 into a first chamber 25 and a second chamber 24.
  • the second piston element 29 forms part of the housing 10, which forms part of a second tool part 36.
  • the second tool part 36, the housing 10 and the second piston element 29 are slidable in relation to the shaft 11 and the first tool part 14 so that the housing 10 moves in relation to the shaft 11, and the shaft 11 is stationary in relation to the pump 22 during pressurisation of the first or the second chamber 25, 24.
  • the fluid is fed to one of the chambers 25, 24 through a fluid channel 19 in the first tool part 14 and a fluid channel 19 in the shaft 11 for providing fluid to and/or from the chambers 25, 24 during pressurisation of the first or the second chamber 25, 24, generating pressure on the second piston element 29.
  • the pressurisation of the chamber 24 generates pressure on the second piston element 29 and a downstroke movement in that the housing 10 moves down, away from the pump 22, as shown in Fig. 7B , where the second element 9 is moved towards the first element 7 for activating and moving the support structure 8 at least partly radially outwards for expanding at least part of the completion tubular component 2.
  • fluid is led into the second chamber 24, fluid is forced out of the first chamber 25.
  • pressure is generated on the second piston element 29, providing an upstroke movement in that the housing 10 moves from the position shown in Fig. 7B to the position shown in Fig. 7A and thus moves towards the pump 22.
  • the shaft 11 is fixedly connected with the first tool part 14, and the housing 10 is slidable in relation to the first tool part 14, a first end part 38 of the housing 10 overlapping the first tool part 14.
  • the housing 10 is supported partly by the first tool part 14 since the first tool part 14 has an outer diameter OD T which is substantially the same as an inner diameter ID H of the housing 10.
  • the housing 10 comprises a second end part 39 connected to the second element 9, illustrated by dotted lines.
  • the force generated by the axial force generator 5 is mainly transferred via the housing 10, and not via the shaft 11.
  • the shaft 11 bends easier than when being aligned with the element.
  • the force is transferred further away from the centre, thus eliminating the risk of bending part of the axial force generator 5 when it is off the centre in relation to the element.
  • the axial force generator 5 is therefore capable of transferring a higher amount of force than the axial force generator 5 shown in Fig.
  • the axial force generator 5 can provide a force of 100,000 pounds. Furthermore, by moving the housing 10 in relation to the stationary shaft 11 and the stationary first tool part 14, a higher bending stiffness of the axial force generator 5 is obtained. The housing 10 is supported along its stroke by the second piston element 29, whereby the axial force generator 5 is capable of transferring a high axial force substantially without bending.
  • the shaft 11 since the shaft 11 is fixed and the housing 10 with the piston is sliding, the shaft 11 does not transfer any force and thus does not have to have a certain diameter, and the shaft diameter can therefore be reduced and the piston area increased, enabling the tool 1 to generate a higher axial force.
  • the tool 1 is powered by a battery in the tool and is thus wireless.
  • the pump may be powered by high-pressure fluid from surface down through a pipe, coiled tubing or casing.
  • fluid or "well fluid” is meant any kind of fluid that may be present in oil or gas wells downhole, such as natural gas, oil, oil mud, crude oil, water, etc.
  • gas is meant any kind of gas composition present in a well, completion or open hole, and by “oil” is meant any kind of oil composition, such as crude oil, an oil-containing fluid, etc.
  • Oil and water fluids may thus all comprise other elements or substances than gas, oil and/or water, respectively.
  • tubular component is meant a component forming a channel and being tubular in shape, and having an inner diameter and an outer diameter forming a wall therebetween, one part of the wall potentially overlapping another part of the wall in order to form the tubular shape.
  • casing or “well tubular metal structure” is meant any kind of pipe, tubing, tubular, liner, string, etc., used downhole in relation to oil or natural gas production.
  • a downhole tractor can be used to push the tool all the way into position in the well.
  • the downhole tractor 15 may have projectable arms 16 having wheels 17, wherein the wheels contact the inner surface of the casing or borehole for propelling the tractor and the tool forward in the casing.
  • a downhole tractor is any kind of driving tool capable of pushing or pulling tools in a well downhole, such as a Well Tractor ® .
